My life with Picasso

Author's name: Françoise Gilot-Carlton Lake Publisher: Al-Rafidain Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2023 Literary classification: Biographies and Memoirs Summary of the book: Despite all that has been written about the genius of Pablo Picasso and his works, and what has also been written against him, the other side of his personality was not known to him, as that face of his life was hidden except from the people who had real contact with him, including Françoise Gilot who lived with him for about ten years, and in this book she honestly tells her story and her relationship with him, with utmost frankness and keen insight, as she was the first to delve into revealing Picasso's personality in both his artistic and human faces: he is a temperamental genius, suspicious and bored, eloquent, anxious, and a man who never stopped fighting against time and traditional norms, nor did he stop creating.
